At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was put on pause. Here's the story.

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...

The European Strategy Group tasked a working group to compare seven proposals for CERN’s next large-scale collider.

We're getting closer to full power: For the first time in two years, after significant upgrades and repairs, the Large Hadron Collider is now delivering proton-to-proton collisions for four of CERN's ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...
